I don't know why you'd blame LeBron for it when Cleveland acquiring both of those players is probably impossible to begin with. They don't have anything Doc Rivers would give up Chris Paul for.

I get the feeling doc would have an irrational interest in richard jefferson

Well, I wouldn't blame Bron if they don't get CP. I'm sure he would do anything to get Paul on his team. Btw, if Doc was a bit tipsy, he could approve a Kyrie for CP trade.

Maybe RSCD3_ can help me out on that) on the help in the paint rather than Draymond, which makes a huge difference. Iggy probably starts, which isn't good obviously. But LeBron still has managed to get in the paint quite often with Iggy on him, it's mostly been Draymond's who's been messing up his finishing. Hopefully, he can get some shots up at the rim early and maybe get Iggy into foul trouble.


Per 48 minutes

52 Minutes On = -17.4 PP48
140 Minutes Off = +16.5 PP48
On/Off= -33.9 PP48

First thought is that was a lot worse than I expected...

They really suffer offensively with Bogut If I would have to guess. As SSB stated earlier in the thread WOWY isnt always credible the day afterwards but assuming they have it right for these finals the warriors are 92.9 ORTG and 111.2 DRTG, while without him they are 121.6 ORTG and 103.8 DRTG. So he isnt doing that hot on either front but offensively that's a near 30 ORTG Drop off.

Also because I am curious I ran the numbers to see how they did minus Ezeli/Bogut/Speights/Varejao/McAdoo in this series.

86 Minutes with no true big man 125.8 ORTG 97.5 DRTG

That's practically half a game against the larger cavaliers and murder.

I bet Lebron James "mysteriously" gets into early foul trouble this game.

I doubt they appreciate him forcing their hand on this matter, and I suspect there will be some back door justice/ injustice at play.

I expect this game to be all but over (In GSW's favor) by mid 2nd quarter.


excuses before the game even starts.....what else can you expect from a lebron fan... :noway:

What excuse?

Win or lose, makes no difference to me. I watch to be entertained.

Failure breeds more entertaining discussion actually.

That is called a prediction btw. :crazy:

LeBron needs to show up tonight. Draymond's been maybe the best player on the floor in this series and he isn't playing. No more excuses. Just win.

I feel confident in saying that if LeBron has more than 8 free throws and 4 or less turnovers, this is a win.

The road win streak in jeopardy tonight (obviously no one cares, just saying).

Agreed. Unfortunately, not looking good to start tonight; 0-2 and a TO. If this continues and they lose 4-1 (against a team without Green, Curry not 100%, and LeBron looking his worst individually), this would be, IMO, the 2nd lowest point of LeBron's career, behind only the 2011 Finals (yes worse than 2010; at least then he was still at his peak physically).

...I can't believe they're making the cavs wear sleeved jerseys in a finals game. That's rough.

Can someone tell me what is Love doing on the floor?


He brings nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Stop posting up Love! Very little good ever results from it. How have they not realized this yet?

They need to cut the Love post up out of the play book against the Warriors.

All my Love-bashing is proving correct and then some. Go look at my post history. He is a below average NBA player against modern systems, period.
